This running-wild behaviour is a well known problem with the somewhat broken OSX OpenCL implementation and the phatk-style miner kernels. No proper solution yet. However, you can use an earlier version of Diablo miner with a different kernel. If you check out the sources, do a "git log" and look for the time the switch to the phatk occurred (iirc Jun 24), and use that one. You can also find an older version packaged in a Mac-friendly app by someone else here on the forums: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8994.0

The ghash meter just measures raw ghash produced. If it stops moving, then yes, you have a problem. FPS doesn't sound right unless you're a large -f value in the same ballpark, and the second mhash number doesn't make sense unless you own 2 or more video cards.

I assume its just more OSX insanity. I am not surprised.

It is the original Mac Mini without any hardware changes. (1 video card)

How can I help to get rid of the OSX insanity? Or should I get rid of OSX?

Honestly? Don't mine on OSX. Even when it works, it sucks up 40% of your performance.

Are you sure you're using the newest version? 137 doesn't look like it can do that.

First thing I checked. This was a fresh download.

If you haven't noticed, it appears to happen every 50 min. It could also be your network connection settings to disconnect and create a new connection after 50 min. Could be in your router if not the pool.

I've opened an account on ABCpool, I get lots of disconnection errors:

Is this an issue of the pool or something you can look at?

TIA

spiccioli.

it happens every 50 seconds, and no, it is not my router.

Anyway it has problems with poclbm as well while it works ok with phoenix.

I have a technical question for the developer; At ABCPool we have at least one user experiencing problems when connecting with Diablominer. Part of it pertains to Long Polling; ABCPool times out LP connections with an empty HTTP 200 response after 50 seconds to prevent defunct LP connections from causing delays when a new block is found.
